API Question

Worldofjimmy · September 12, 2019

Hello,

Im looking at the documentation for the API and want to test it.

I have granted my user the correct roles.

I have enabled the API.

The server is currently running from another computer in my home and is public.

Currently says that the API listening on "HTTP://localhost:5400"

How do I access the API from another computer within the same network and from external network?

I have tried using postman sending the following from the same network on another computer but I get error 400.

**jcsnider** · September 13, 2019

I think it would just be:

"Intersect Server.exe" --apiport=5400

Not completely sure for windows though.

Jcsnider2 · September 12, 2019

In the Server/Resourcs/config/api.config.json change http://localhost:5400 to http://*:5400 and it will accept connections outside of localhost I believe.

Edit: Forgive the dummy account, I'm working on a project that links accounts with AGD lol

It didn't work, is there any other way?

Try right clicking on the server and running as admin.

I tried to run that as Admin but then the whole Server just starts and then crashes. I run this on Windows 10

Do:

Instead.

I tried both public and internal IP. The server starts and then just crashes with the same logs as if run as admin.

Do you think I have any fault with router settings, and or windows 10?

is there any other tests I can do and provide with results?

Listening on 0.0.0.0:5400.

Can confirm the same errors occurs even when running server on Mac via Terminal

When I use localhost:5400 I can connect to the API on the current machine but not from another machine

Can confirm it's a bug at this point...

If you set the config back to default:

http://localhost:5400/

And then launch the server using the parameter:

--apiport=5400

Via a terminal does it work?

Seems to work with --apiport=5400

Check the following picture as the API is listening on http://*:5400

I'll test to start the server on another computer and try to access the API from this Mac and report back with results

Mind opening a bug report regarding

http://*:5400/ not working via the config along with the error above?

Sure, will do right away.

Trying to make a cmd file on autostart the server with --apiport=5400

Do you know if this is the correct?

filename: startServer.cmd

content of file:

cd C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\Server
start Intersect_Server.exe --apiport=5400

I think it would just be:

Not completely sure for windows though.

Didn't work for Windows 10, still same error when http://localhost:5400

Will try to find the correct alternative for --apiport=5400 for windows

**jcsnider** · September 13, 2019

On windows if you get this error

2019-09-13 16:47:51.244 [Error] Failed to start API.
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Net.HttpListenerException: Access is denied

It likely means you need to run as admin. Windows has urlacl which controls the hostnames/ports you can listen on.

Alternatively you can use the urlacl command to give your account access to that hostname (http://*:5400) info linked below: (running as admin is easier imo)

I made a file.cmd with the following content:

cd C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\Server
"Intersect_Server.exe" --apiport=5400

Then I made a shortcut to that file to always run as admin. Will test to access the API from another computer now and also external.

Worldofjimmy · September 13, 2019

I created a new task to run my shortcut as admin when the user has logged in, now the server starts at computer boot up.

@jcsnider

Seems like --apiport=5400 did the trick.

Can confirm that it is now working both from another computer internal on the same network and an external network.
